And in darkness, light by AdmirableMonster
Fanwork Notes
This was originally written for the Hanukkah board of the Silmarillion Writers' Guild's 2024 Potluck challenge (and the simultaneous Festival of Lights Fest 2024) but I didn't manage to finish it that winter, so instead I'm posting during Chanukkah 2025.
With thanks to BloodwingBlackbird for his headcanons about Erestor's backstory.
